It’s very easy to save money on your wedding cake. Here are four top tips you may want to try…

1. Buy your wedding cake in Marks & Spencers. We bought one for our wedding and it was delicious. The cake looked professionally made and cost us a fraction of what standard wedding cake would.

2. Decorate your cake yourself. I decorated my M&S cake using fabric butterflies I found in a gift shop and some fancy ribbon found in a fabric shop. The cake looked great!

3. If you enjoy baking (or have a relative who enjoys baking), home baking your wedding cake is certainly an option. Perhaps it is time to start dropping some hints to your baking relatives suggesting that a homemade cake would be a great wedding present?

4. Do you actually need a wedding cake? Perhaps something unique and different is the order of the day. How about buying a shop made novelty cake, perhaps with your groom’s favourite football team or car? That could make him smile 😉
